Bangkok Birthday #2

Our second day in Bangkok was Isaiah's birthday! What does a 7-year old want to do? Go to the aquarium! So we went to another fancy mall - this time to the basement - where we found a very impressive aquarium with 7 aquatic zones. Zeke liked the otters, who did some tricks for us, and Saiah got to pet a boa constrictor. They also got their toes cleaned by minnows, but my favorite was walking THROUGH the sharks - a long tunnel that wound right through the aquarium. The boys even saw a shark feeding, with manta rays, which was pretty intense.


Finally the aquarium had a special 4D theatre with a short film about a sea turtle - our chairs rocked with the waves, vibrated to the machines, and we even got puffs of air in our faces... like when we were snatched up by an eagle! What a great 7th birthday!!

Of course, after all of that fun and excitement we got to go to the airport at 10pm, wait until 1am for our plane, and then try to get 5 hours of sleep in a chair. Not so fun... but such is the life of adventurers for Jesus ;)
